So I just finished watching Black Lagoon, and while there's a lot there that I found compelling, the show ultimately fails to live up to what I felt it promised, and what I wanted.
This post is analysis-by-way-of-rewrite. It's not really a fanfiction or a script doctor or anything like that, but my intention is to talk through the show, arc-by-arc, to briefly discuss some of the issues I had with it, and how it might have been done better. As a disclaimer, I've not read any of the manga, and so this is going to be based solely on the anime itself. I recognize that there is an element of arrogance to this concept, and I'm ok with that.
( Balalaika is the best character and Dutch reads Mao )
In conclusion I don't know if this would ultimately be a better show but I think it would do a better job at following through on some of the unkept promises, and cut back on the eXtrEmeLy eDgY use of sexual violence without purpose.
